Fantasy Baseball Injury Report: Corey Seager, Noah Syndergaard, Yoan Moncada

Fantasy Baseball Injury Report: Corey Seager, Noah Syndergaard, Yoan Moncada

It’s already time for Week 12 of the Fantasy Baseball Injury Report. We are your go-to spot for all injury news and updates to get your lineups ready.

Corey Seager (SS- LAD) hit the 10-day injured list June 13 with a hamstring strain that occurred while trying to score from second base. The initial response suggested a Grade 2 or Grade 3 strain, but the MRI revealed that it is more in the Grade 1-Grade 2 range. The Dodgers expect him to miss four to six weeks. Chris Taylor could see more of a full-time role in his absence.

Noah Syndergaard (SP – NYM) was placed on the 10-day injured list June 16 with a hamstring strain. He felt pain near the end of Saturday’s start and left in the seventh inning. He is currently scheduled to have an MRI and does not yet have a timetable to return.

Yoan Moncada (2B/3B – CHW) came out of June 10’s game early with upper back tightness. He returned Sunday, but left that game early as well. He is currently listed as day-to-day.

Domingo German (SP – NYY) went on the IL June 9, retroactive to June 8, with a left hip flexor strain and does not yet have a timetable for his return. He had been pitching through the injury for a while and is now expected to get the rest he needs.

Here are a few more injuries to track this week.

Nick Senzel (3B/OF – CIN)
A foul ball hit Senzel in his left eye Saturday. He exited the game and required stitches, but the rookie is currently listed as day-to-day, and the injury doesn’t seem to be serious.

Nomar Mazara (OF – TEX)
Mazara had to exit Saturday’s game early with hamstring tightness. He is currently listed as day-to-day.

Stephen Piscotty (OF – OAK)
Piscotty had surgery to remove melanoma from his ear June 13. He is currently listed as day-to-day and is not expected to miss more than a week.

Kevin Gausman (SP – ATL)
Gausman was placed on the 10-day injured list June 11 with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He does not have a set date for his return, and his rotation spot could be in jeopardy after the Braves signed Dallas Keuchel.

Adam Wainwright (SP – STL)
Wainwright has a hamstring strain and went on the 10-day injured list June 10. He may be able to return after the minimum.

Jordan Lyles (SP – PIT)
Placed on the 10-day injured list June 10, Lyles threw a successful bullpen session Sunday and isn’t far off from returning.

Kyle Hendricks (SP – CHC)
Hendricks was placed on the 10-day injured list with shoulder inflammation. His return is contingent on the results of an MRI.
